IMPORT (V 2.4)
~~~~~~
Format: IMPORT <name> <password> [SERVER <server>] [<file>]
~~~~~~~ [GROUP <grouppattern>] [RESTORE] [NOUPDATE]
Template: USER/A,PASSWORD/A,SERVER/K,FILE,GROUP/K,RESTORE/S,NOUPDATE/S
~~~~~~~~~
Purpose: Import messages to a UMS message-base
~~~~~~~~
Specification:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Files written by EXPORT or UMSDOCTOR can be imported to a UMS message-
base with IMPORT.
For advantages of using EXPORT and IMPORT for transportings messages
between dirrefent message-bases and making backups see the
documentation for EXPORT.
File created by UMSDOCTOR can be imported to a (newly created)
message-base, too.
Invocation:
~~~~~~~~~~~
you must specify a username and password to log into the (optionally
specified) UMS server that the messages are written to.
If you specify the filename <file>, this will be the file that is read
from. Otherwise input will be taken from stdin.
The GROUP option allows you to give an AmigaDOS style pattern, that
the groups of imported messages are matched against. Only messages
with matching groups are imported, others are ignored. Note that
private messages have no group. This matches like an empty string
(pattern "%").
When restoring from a backup or a file created by UMSDOCTOR, you
should use the RESTORE keyword. This makes IMPORT behave differently:
- the Receive-Date will be set to the original one, if possible
- messages will become "old" to all users
- access rights will be calculated differently by the umsserver
The NOUPDATE option makes imported messages "new" even for the
importing user.
Examples:
~~~~~~~~~
1)
Restore messages after a MB breakdown from a file created by
UMSDOCTOR:
1> import sysop password Spool:umsdoctor.export restore
2)
Retrieve all groups with substring "UMS" from an archive on tape:
1) import sysop password btntape:r group "#?ums#?" noupdate
Other examples: see the documentation for EXPORT
